View over Borough Market Junction on 20 July with trains on the Charing Cross / Blackfriars route (left) and the cross-Thames lines from Cannon Street. The new east-west viaduct seen under construction will enable quadrupling here, with the southern pair of lines handling trains to and from Charing Cross and the northern pair providing Thameslink trains with a dedicated route to Blackfriars - essential in providing the planned 24tph peak service on the route. London Bridge station is just off picture bottom right.
